KI-generiertThis emotional segment from the Gerlos cattle drive (Almabtrieb) honors the memory of a man named Rügeli. Instead of a moment of silence, his final wish was for laughter and loud applause. His ceremonial bells were officially handed over to the president of the event, Lois, and will be carried by Markus to ensure Rügeli is represented every year.
